Finally, it may be observed that not a few sculptures
in the British Museum have been found under peculiar
circumstances in this country. Such specimens have been
brought to England by travellers, whose collections have
afterwards been broken up, lost or neglected, and have
been rescued by chance from warehouses, gardens, or
masons' yards.1
